I am going to read this. I saw Lynch's film and I have no intentions of seeing whatshisname's incoming edition.

What I ask of you is to advise me on which edition to take, strictly in terms of the book. I'd like to have a nice cover and print and all that. Since I cannot check the book in a bookshop, and that they don't have options around here, I need to order it online.

Thanks in advance.

You are aware you can google pictures of the printed copies of Dune or any book, right? That even Amazon allows users to upload photos of their copies which you can check to see stupid shit like the book cover or the print.

Tourists should learn how to Google before asking dumb shit more suitable for Reddit.

Not sure who's trolling who here anymore. But I'll bite.

Probably Reddit would have better answers than what I'm getting here, but I don't have an account and I don't want to make one.

That was back in 1993, I a kid and I was told it was a great failed film. I wasn't sure what that could mean so I was curious. I don't remember much at all.

>>15256110
>why?
Because I heavily disliked his Blade Runner, and I would rather experience the novel than the movie version. At least at first.

>>15256110
>It's not a great book if you're older than 16
I did read the first few pages some time ago and didn't like it. But I sort of have to. The novel I am working on lately seems to have common points with Dune, and I would rather be aware of what exists in the field before my own comes out. It's shameful enough that I haven't read Dune so far.

OP here. Plenty of people are pretending to be me, it seems. I need the book as a gift for my girlfriend, that's why it needs to look good. I thought I'd make a better thread for people to discuss, but I forgot what kind of people post here.

Science fiction is quite awesome in general. People who need to only read certain books for ego reasons are reading for all the wrong reasons. And they should have sex.

OP, on this board, we pretend to despise anything that isn't both old and right wing. You should know better. We are autistic and don't read fiction because stories are for women and children.

We only read Julius Evola and pretend to understand. We also pretend that it's great.

Long live the white race and death to homos and blacks, and women.

If you read Dune, please follow it up with dune: Messiah. It completes themes that are set up it dune but aren't fulfilled.

I like discussing books. If you mind that, you don't have to post in my thread. Anything is fine to start a discussion about literature in my opinion, but again, if you disagree, you don't have to contribute.

Why bother posting in threads you don't like? What mentality is this?

Honestly, just have sex.

I do like Gene Wolfe. I read his first novel and it was quite something. Impressed me more than the little I've read of Dune.

I've already ordered my Dune copy though. Found a cover I liked. I really started this thread for a comfy conversation on Dune and to see cool covers, not even with the intention to buy it (I only have two options locally: paperback cover, stylised, or hardback with minimalism design; I went with the latter).

Gene Wolfe died recently, a shame. Did you know he was an engineer by trade, originally, and designed some frying machine for Pringles? Crazy stuff, uh.

No, the first 6 dune books are by Frank. Dune feels incomplete without Messiah in my opinion. The rest you can skip if you aren't into them.

Should I rewatch Lynch's Dune before I read or is that the worst idea imaginable?

I'd like to imagine the characters my own way but I'm afraid Mr. Twin Peaks and the obese homosexual red-haired AIDS-man will remain in my thoughts as I read.
